CO2 Hog Al Gore Leaves Car Running One Hour at Swedish Seminar

Reducing their carbon footprints must be for the 'little people.' Al Gore is a complete phony.

Climate Depot reported:

Intriguingly, the Master of World Climate himself arrived in a rental car (with or without driver is unclear), from the airport, and subsequently left the engine running for the entire lecture. That is to say, about one hour. Incidentally, local legislation prohibits – for very good environmental reasons, i.e. pollution – any car engine running on empty for more than 60 seconds. Fines are severe. As far as I know, he was not fined.

Several commentators on other sites have asked for proof Al Gore was in Sweden recently. He was a speaker at a ""Sustainable Capitalism" seminar in Gothenburg, Sweden on November 25, 2010. He probably collected his normal six figure payday for speaking.

Obama the Camera Hog

Republicans attended President Obama's bipartisan health care summit. The only thing they asked for was equal time to present their views. How did Obama do at allowing the Republicans equal time? Here are the speaking stats: Obama 119 minutes, Democrats 114 minutes and Republicans 110 minutes. It was practically a democratic filibuster. Even though he hogged the camera, Obama didn't offer the Republicans any serious compromise. President Obama insists on a massive overhaul and takeover of our health care system. A good analogy would be if you couldn't agree with your spouse what kind of new house to buy. You want a $200k ranch and they want a $1 million mansion. The compromise they offer you is you can help pick the color some of the rooms will be painted, but you have to agree to buy the mansion.

From the Washington Times:

By the end of the televised event, Mr. Obama had spoken for 119 minutes - nine minutes more than the 110 minutes consumed by 17 Republicans. The 21 Democratic lawmakers used 114 minutes, giving the president and his supporters a whopping 233 minutes, according to a "talk clock" kept by GOP aides....
